STATUES: Kotobukiya shows off Power Girl Bishoujo statue

Press Release

Coming up next in the DC Comics Bishoujo Collection (combining DC’s superheroines and villains with traditional Japanese stylings) is the mighty Kryptonian from Earth Two, Power Girl! First appearing in All Star Comics in 1976, Kara Zor-L was sent to Earth just like her cousin Kal, and she too became a costumed superhero. Taking the alter ego Karen Starr, Power Girl fought crime and supervillains alongside the Justice Society of America, eventually crossing over to Earth-One. One of the most popular female characters in comics, and voted among the sexiest, Power Girl finally joins the exclusive ranks of the DC Bishoujo ladies based on an original interpretation by Shunya Yamashita.

REVIEW: Power Girl #21

Or – “In Memoriam.”

There has been a lot made of the fact that members of the Justice League International tend to get killed, maimed, brutalized and otherwise smacked around in the recent years of the DC Universe, and while I admit that this is the case, I don’t suspect that there’s any sort of real malice involved.  I suspect that it’s more of a “Let’s Serious This Character Up” going on, which these days means throw in a beating or kill off a buddy for ratings.  Either way, as one of the last survivors of JLI/JLE, Power Girl has been targeted by Max Lord for nefarious purposes.  Will the arrival of another ex-member turn the tide?

As Palmiotti, Gray, and Conner prepare to depart Power Girl, they leave the reader with a really good feeling.
